Are you implying that I'm a fascist because I think doxxing social security numbers is bad for a Lemmy instance? That's a strange take.

Also, it looks like most people are downvoting OP's post and agreeing that he deserved it. Are they fascist too?!

The truly extreme action of releasing publicly available information

So if it's so publicly available, then no reason to post it on Lemmy. Also, someone mentioned the post had Social Security numbers. I don't care what Lemmy says or how much Lemmy hates people, I'll always think posting people's info like that is uncool.

Doxxing is never cool, friend. And can get dbzer0 into some uncomfortable legal noise.

When you gonna post your manifesto, friend?

Bruh, what the fuck? YDI

I've definitely been scanning the news lately, and totally expecting to see something like, "And he released his manifesto to a little-known social forum called Lemmy..." about one of you guys.

If I were a new up and coming law enforcment agent, I'd totally be checking out Lemmy. lol

If you wanna go extreme and shit, cool, but do it somewhere else, please. Lemmy ain't a safe place for you to be doxxing people. If dbzer0 gets shut down because of people like you doing shit like this, imma be pissed.

What the fuck were you thinking and what was your end goal here?

Thanks for this. It's a great read. I love how his name is Wagenius! Same as me, but I'm not related. Not that I know of anyway. I just sent my mom a text asking her if we are related to this dude! lmao

PTB

Dude, leave the guy alone about his living expenses. You don't know anything about the guys living situation. Calling him a liar just because the numbers seem low to you, is out of line, even for you.

WTF is going on with you lately?! You were always kind of a jerk IMHO, but damn, lately you just seem to be accusing people everywhere of the most strange shit. You just accused a dude of not living in the U.S. because you don't like or understand his credit card charges?!

Not only that, but you only brought the very off-topic up because you went to go check his post history about unrelated shit. The fuck?!

You need to go touch grass, friend.

Thanks for being a neutral and logical in this thing.

I think with Philpthebucket, he's just letting his annoyance with me overtake the logic he usually has. I've seen past posts of his where he's showing timestamps, logins, receipts etc to backup his point. But in this particular issue w me, he seems to be letting his feelings take over rather than his usual logic.

Most of his talk about me lately is just "Because of course Universal Monk is..." sorta statements. Which isn't really a good standard. If we're going to use his logic that I'm involved in something just because I'm commenting about a subject in a thread talking about the subject, then he's involved in it too. And you. And everyone who replies to a thread.

I kinda tried to follow the issues that he's reporting, but it's all over the place and he's naming so many people. I just couldn't follow it all. I have no clue what the actual frustration is. Is he for the anti-ai people or against them? Like what is he mad about?

I know I sometimes I give you shit about your takes, but you're a pretty stand-up guy. I still disagree with a lot of your opinions about me, but fuck all, you stay neutral more often than not, so I can respect that and I respect you. (most of the time, haha)

just told me UniversalMonk did nothing wrong

Bro, I love you, but you never miss an opportunity to bring my name up in your posts. I ain't got nothing to do with whatever it is you're going on about, friend. And by the way, I didn't do anything wrong, so whoever told you that is right!

Some AI tech, but no, the song is not all ai. But it is over-produced, because I like it that way.

It's my writing, my voice singing (but way autotuned), my son's band playing some of the music. We performed and recorded the song and they were happy with it, but to me it sounded like it was done in a garage (which it was). So I took the entire thing, put some of it thru ai and asked for suggestions speeding it up with more layers, and used computer to tweak sound and tonal values. And sped up some parts.

So not so much AI-generated, as overly computerized production. The band actually liked the grungier DIY sound, but I preferred the over-produced zingy sound. And since it was my song and I paid them to be my backup band, I did it the way I wanted.

The band is fine with it since I didn't post their name in the production--because it's not a kind of song they like. They actually like it, but it's not their sound at all. They play the grungier one in the sets and local places now tho.

Their lead singer has a much deeper voice than me, so they do more of the screamo metal music stuff. Not my sorta thing at all. I like old-school Blink-182. :)

I was gonna do more, but holy fuck it took me a long time to produce this song since I didn't know what the hell I was doing. Still doesn't sound exactly he way I want it, but I got tired of fucking with it. I have like 140 different versions of it on my computer. Ugh, I am def not a music producer.

AI would have done it better, I'm sure.

PTB. Like always when it comes to them. But brah, nothing says you have to visit comms that you hate and disagree with. I mean, aren't you kinda stirring up drama on purpose?

Ok, I gotta agree with your statement! lol

whose entire premis is built around preemptive bans (i think ‘pleasant politics’ is one.

Yep, he has a bot (santabot or some shit) and he pre-emptive bans anyone that has even been downvoted a few times about any subject over all of Lemmy. LMAO. Guy's a dick about it too. He tried to report me for ban evasion for posting to his comm, but I had no idea I was even banned from there.

So a bunch of people pointed out that his bot doesn't notify of bans, and that how is it ban evasion if they don't know they've been banned from there. He said he didn't care. lmao

But if you don't like AI art, and downvote them without commenting, then why does it matter if you are banned from the AI communities? I mean, you don't wanna be there anyway, right? So why not block them so you don't have to see them in the first place?

Yeah, man, that sucks. Sorry this is happening to you. And it'll probably happen for a little bit longer, so brace yourself. The same kind of person (I actually suspect it's same guy) stalked me on Lemmy for a full 6 months before they finally stopped. So don't let it knock you off of Lemmy or knock you off of your sobriety journey.

Stay strong, brother! You got this!

And OP's posted the most vile and hateful transphobic comments under their other accounts that were banned. Even attacked the mods efforts to overcome alcoholism.

We all know who ya are and what you're doing. YDM

The fact that you are so pissed and so obsessed that you make up alt names just to hassle someone who banned you, is fascinating to me.

What are you like in real life? Like, how much do you lose your shit when you're at McDonald's and someone messes up your order? Are you that creepy guy who threatens to burn the place down because you counted the fries and decided there weren't enough in the bag?

I'd 100 percent watch the documentary about your stalking behavior. But please post it on Peertube instead of Youtube, cuz Youtube is a capitalist hellhole. Thanks in advance.

Goldman and de Cleyre maintained a lifelong friendship and respect for one another even though their beliefs differed greatly. de Cleyre explained these differences succinctly in her 1894 essay In Defense of Emma Goldmann and the Right of Expropriation:

"Miss Goldmann is a communist; I am an individualist. She wishes to destroy the right of property, I wish to assert it. … But whether she or I be right, or both of us be wrong, of one thing I am sure; the spirit which animates EMMA GOLDMAN is the only one which will emancipate the slave from his slavery, the tyrant from his tyranny — the spirit which is willing to dare and suffer."

This article shows Santa Muerte as a deeply meaningful, inclusive spiritual icon. Especially for the poor, the undocumented, LGBTQ individuals, sex workers, and others marginalized by both the state and the Catholic Church.

excerpt:

In the early years of my research, few people in Mexico would talk to me about her, and few in the US knew of her; she was either underground or unknown. Now, the Bony Lady is “out” and very visible. Since early 2000, worship has grown dramatically in Mexico and in the US, especially among migrants. I came to understand her popularity among migrants and LGBTQ communities in Mexico; she is associated with those living precarious lives and/or engaged in dangerous undertakings.

I think some of their opinions are interesting, and it’s not like they’re posting illegal content. When you see it's Breitbart, you already know what you're in for. There are plenty of left-leaning propaganda sites disguised as news too. It’s not unique to the right.

What really frustrates me is the lack of popular socialist news outlets. I wish we had more of them, so I post what I can from the few that exist.

I’m not mad that Breitbart is popular, I’m mad that socialist sites aren’t just as popular or well-funded. That’s the real issue for me.
